A few students from Ms. Candland's Comparative World Governments course had a tour of the polls on Election Day with Bath's City Clerk, Darci Wheeler. They learned the entire process of voting--including how to register on the same day, how ballots are stored and kept secure, and that some groups collect signatures on Election Day for ballot measures they hope to get on the ballot in the future. Students had great questions and saw how easy and quick it is to vote in Bath! Many thanks to Darci Wheeler for taking the time on such a busy day.
